The new standard of all-season drivability and all-terrain durability, the Sumitomo Encounter AT2 is the go-anywhere, do-anything all-terrain tire for CUVs, SUVs and Pickups. A non-directional, 4-rib tread design optimizes ride stability and protects against irregular wear, while deep circumferential grooves boost wet grip performance and provide superior wear life. An optimized tread design pattern stabilizes handling and steering response for a smooth, quiet ride. Variable-width shoulder lugs evacuate rocks, sand and other debris for superior off-road grip, and 3D wave sipes enhance traction and performance in snow, mud and other soft surfaces. This tire features Severe Snow Certification, ensuring reliable winter performance in heavy snow. A jointless nylon cap ply levels load distribution and provides smooth handling, and wide, stiff steel belts enhance tread stiffness for responsive handling. The high-tension casing ply balances stability and comfort during high-speed travel while the hard bead apex reinforces the sidewall and casing for reliable towing and hauling.
